40-Year Reunion

DETAILS

GUHS Class of 71 Reunion

August 26 & 27, 2011 - Was a huge success!

Friday Night BBQ was attended by 22 Classmates. And the light weights couldn't even polish off a keg of beer. Party was over by 9:30 - we must be getting old!

Our float in the Fair Parade got second place ribbon (class of 81 got 1st - only because Melody wouldn't trim our ribbons right!). Mr. Dean Nodine, Mr. Al Olson & Mrs. Reba Smith joined about fifteen of us on the ride. It was great fun!

Saturday night at the Elks was attended by 31 classmates, 17 spouses or dates & 3 teachers. The dinner was delicious. The "special comentaries" by Melody & Margo was lots of fun. The band sounded just like they did years ago!

Special Thanks to -

Linda Pettyjohn - Treasurer

Gaylene Shaffer - "In Memory" Roses & BBQ help

Jack Seebart - Keg of beer

Jerry Larkin - Pop & "In Memory" Pictures

Randy Moles - for the use of his BBQ, & the music for the BBQ & float.

Thanks to the planning committee.

And a special THANKS to Donn Willey, Randy Moles, Chuck Willey & Gary Grossman for the hours spent practicing for the band, the miles traveled & the wonderful dancing music! It felt just like the old pavilon dances!
